Who should do this exercise?

Anyone who feels like they slouch when they sit

People who sit many hours in a day at a desk

People with neck, shoulder or upper back pain

People who get frequent headaches

How to do this exercise:

Tilt your chin slightly down toward your chest. Then press your head backward as if you are making a “double chin.” Hold for 3 seconds. Optionally you can add a resistance band around the back of your head and hold the bands in front of you, pressing your head back into it. You can also use a pillow or car seat to press your head into. The idea is to strengthen the front of your neck and lengthen the back of it.

When should I do this exercise?

Do 10 repetitions holding for 3 seconds. If you don’t get any cramping, do up to 3 sets per day.
